We are very aware of the work that BMW and Toyota are doing together to develop a new sporty Focus platform. A platform that has already made us think about the successor to the Toyota Supra … but it also makes us think about the next generation BMW Z4 … and now in the next BMW 6 Series.

When we think of the Toyota Hilux, many immediately associate this name with the durability, reliability and endurance under extreme conditions which boasts this model. Surely many still have in mind the chapter of Top Gear in which the BBC guys trying to destroy a unit Hilux various ways, including fire, without success. The Japanese firm is aware of the reputation it has and so have decided to create a special edition playing with the invincibility of the Toyota Hilux.

This edition has been dubbed Toyota Hilux Invincible.
